Client Testimonials

Marius and his team was able to turn around my project in a very short time. Would always recommend to anyone.(05/09/2013)

- Canadian Real Estate

We found the staff to be very responsive and very keen to help, fix issues and work with us to resolve problems. Overall we would recommend working with them.

- RLIndustries (London, UK)

I'm very pleased with your response and timely execution of requests. The ideas and logical solutions you offer to me in addition to my initial requirements has been the key to this great partnership. You grasp very quickly my needs and goals even when I don't seem to articulate them in a concise manner… and then you augment my ideas with multiple solutions. It's terrific. You guys are great!

- Bic Hauser – Skillview Sports

If you must outsource your web & software development, this is the team to hire. We had a very fruitful collaboration and we are very happy with the results. I warmly recommend Angel HS for everybody.

A very professional company, very well organised. It was a pleasure to work with them and I honestly recommend them. - Mesan Alex

We DO NOT provide support on our free templates, you can only ask for help on forum and when time is available we are free to help; Not all of the support requests/issues/tasks are FREE, most of them are based on Support Contracts or Support Periods at the end of a delivered project.

2. Where Can You Get Support

We do not provide after purchase support in any other places like:

Themeforest item comments page ( we provide only pre-sale support )

Twitter

Facebook

Email

If you have problems creating an account on our support forum , please contact us using the live chat or email your account manager.

3. How Can I Create an account on the support system

Go to http://support.angelhs.com

Open a new ticket and you will receive the account confirmation via email as well as the updated statuses

Note: all form submissions and voicemails are delivered to our entire support team.

4. Support Hours

Most of our support staff is based on EST (GMT -5). We try to provide support “around the sun”, however, our support schedule is as follows:

Monday – Friday : 10:00 – 19:00 EST ( GMT-5 )

5. Methods of Support

As standard, we provide the following methods of support which we expect you to familiarise yourself with:

24/7 Online Helpdesk (http://support.angelhs.com) Our 24×7 Online Support Helpdesk is our primary means of providing support to you anytime day or night. Submitting a ticket ensures your support issue receives immediate attention and quick resolution by our dedicated Support Team, while giving us the ability to accurately track and audit your ticket if necessary. Please do not submit multiple tickets regarding the same support issue (this does nothing but create confusion and slow down resolution). Existing tickets (including all “closed” tickets) can be easily updated (and/or re-opened) via the helpdesk system or by replying to the ticket email.

Live Chat Live Chat provides the ability for you to “talk” directly (via messenger style text) to a member of our team. This should only be used for quick or simple queries, and often you will be referred to the helpdesk to submit a ticket regarding your issue (especially if it cannot be resolved in a very short space of time).

As standard, we do NOT provide telephone or email support nor provide Skype / GTalk or other massagers tools to interact with our team.

Issues related to Billing and Sales are the ONLY exception to this unless you have upgraded your standard support (see our Professional Support Upgrade). Customers phoning AHS for any issues relating to Support will be kindly asked to submit a ticket at the online helpdesk.

Soon we will introduce:

A. Support Knowledge Base More than just an FAQ, the AHS Support Knowledge Base aims to help you answer any questions quickly and easily by yourself by providing a comprehensive resource of articles and advice relating to all aspects of our service.

B. Online Tutorials and Guides Our collection of user-guides and online tutorial “videos” help provide a better understanding of our domain and hosting packages, as well as some other popular software products and services.

6. Support Hours and Response Times

Support (via the Helpdesk) is provided 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. While the majority of tickets are responded to within 1 hour (normally sooner) we do ask that you correctly prioritise your ticket by choosing an appropriate priority number corresponding with the urgency of your request. For example, do NOT submit an urgent “Priority 1” ticket for a “how do I..” question. Priority 1 tickets should ONLY be used for situations of a critical nature such as a “server down” ticket. We aim to fully resolve all tickets within a 4 hour period, with a greater priority given to certain tickets based on their immediacy.

Live Chat is generally only available during office hours, and due to the nature of support requests via Live Chat (i.e.: very simply questions etc) we would hope to resolve any issues immediately.

7. Services Not Covered by Standard Support

While we will always try and provide support on most subjects where we have the expertise, our official support is only provided in relation to the products and services supplied to you as partner or client. It does not extend to services including (but not limited to) custom web design and programming, or configuring, fixing or installing scripts or third party software. We are of course happy to provide quotes for any type of web design, development and consultancy work, should you need more assistance with something not covered by our standard support policy.

8. Professional Support Upgrade

Customer looking to extend the level of support provided by AHS should consider upgrading to our Professional Support package. This enhanced package (recommended for businesses without a dedicated in-house technical resource) includes all the above features of our standard support, in addition to:

A. Telephone Support Professional Support customers benefit from telephone support (during normal working office hours) on our normal (non-premium) telephone line. For some support issues, we may still ask you to submit a support ticket (or we will submit it on your behalf) to help better track the issue, but we welcome your call on any support issue.

B. Remote Assistance or training Our remote assistance service is like having us in the room with you, providing One-2-One support with matters relating to your own Computer’s setup. Remotely connecting to your computer, we control your system, helping resolve any issue, and showing you exactly “how” to do it. Examples of typical remote assistance include setting up your Outlook to use a newly created email account, tweaking Internet explorer to delete your cache, or giving you a quick guided tour around your chosen FTP software. Remote Assistance must be scheduled in advance (at times only minimal notice will be required) to ensure support staff are available. Currently the software we use for Remote Assistance in only available to customers on a Windows based computer such as XP or Vista (Mac and Linux versions available soon).

Our Professional Support Package allows for greater flexibility as to “what” we can support, and while we may not be able to undertake any specific web development work etc (please see our Virtual Webmaster Services if you require similar help), we will always try and help you with ANY support issue if we have the expertise to do so.

All customers who have purchased a current subscription receive:

All upgrades and service releases for the 12 month term of their annual subscription

10. Cost and Terms

AHS charges $100 per hour in 30 minute increments for all support and maintenance services. AHS doesn’t intend to invoice for every minute and will use its own discretion to charge for issues. There are no charges incurred to:

Respond to and resolve hosting issues for AHS hosted websites

Fix something that is broken due to “errors and omissions on the part of AHS” (See Assumptions)

For larger requests, AHS will propose a cost estimate for approval as described in the “Additional Services” section of this document.

11. Additional Services

AHS provides ongoing enhancement services that are NOT handled by our support team because of the size and nature of the work. This work is considered to be “Additional Services.” An AHS Sales Consultant/Account Manager will advise the client on any requested “Additional Services” work and provide a proposed approach, costs, and timeline. Example services include:

Website redesign

New functions, features, design and development

Web marketing consulting

Google Analytics and Webmaster Tools consulting

AHS and the client may agree to a custom Support and Maintenance Agreement to allow for adjustments to the level of service that supersedes this document.

12. Assumptions

A. Errors and Omissions AHS does not provide a specific warranty period for websites because we feel that we are accountable for fixing any errors and omissions and broken things regardless of the timeframe. However, it’s important that AHS clients understand that we don’t cause all issues and, therefore, can’t fix all issues for free. Websites inherently need maintenance because they are viewed through browsers and use many third party tools. The browsers and third party tools are regularly updated, and versions may no longer be supported. This sometimes results in causing a website feature to “break” or simply to not perform as expected. We are ready, willing, and able to help fix all issues, but we charge for the ones we don’t cause.
AHS assumes to be the sole provider of maintenance services for the website. If a party other than AHS makes changes to the website, which results in AHS providing necessary updates or fixes to the website, it will not be considered “errors and omissions on the part of AHS.”

B. Website Hosting AHS is accountable for the performance of the websites developed by AHS and hosted by AHS’s hosting partners (“AHS Servers”). AHS will provide Support services to clients whose websites are not hosted on AHS servers; however, the services will be limited to the website code developed by AHS. Hosting and server support for AHS developed websites hosted by other providers is the responsibility of the client and/or hosting provider. Website performance can be affected by changes to a server environment, which can require maintenance or updates to the website. Should this type of website update be necessary, it will not be considered “errors and omissions on the part of AHS.”

C. Third Party Content Management Systems Website performance may be affected by changes to the third party content management systems (CMS) (i.e. Prestashop, Magento, Joomla, Drupal and WordPress), which would result in maintenance to the website. Issues caused by or in combination with new or updated third-party software products including upgrades, themes, plugins, modules, or Prestashop, Magento, Joomla, WordPress and Drupal modifications/customizations will not be considered “errors and omissions on the part of AHS.”

D. Integrated Third Party APIs Website performance may be affected by changes to the third party APIs (i.e. Twitter, Flickr, Constant Contact), which would result in maintenance to the website. Issues caused by or in combination with new or updated third-party software will not be considered “errors and omissions on the part of AHS.”

We’ll provide help for questions regarding installation problems, product functionality, programming issues, product usage issues, and will explain any related error messages you receive. We have access to the developers who have written the code, and will work with you to figure out what the issue is, and deliver a solution.
